The Sound of Symfony podcast has come back and posted their latest episode with hosts Magnus Nordlander and Tobias Nyholm. In this latest episode (#11) they talk about Symfony 4 and look forward to some of the things they'd like to see in this future release.

Having recovered from SymfonyCon and had happy holidays, Sound of Symfony is back on the ether(net). This week we talk about what we'd like to see in upcoming versions of PHP and Symfony.

Other topics mentioned include:

Various Drupal initiatives

Sub-requests (a request to render just a partial page, not the whole thing through the HttpKernel)

The Free the Geek podcast has posted an episode where host Matthew Settertalks with Jack Skinner about the life of a developer evangelist.

In this episode I have a fireside chat about what it’s like to live the life of a developer evangelist with Jack Skinner, otherwise known as @developerjack, whilst he was at the first BuzzConf. He talked with me about the crazy hours, random locations, shared some stories from the road, such as having a conference call whilst walking down the boarding gate to catch a flight.

If you don’t, yet, know Jack, he’s a developer evangelist at MYOB, which is an Australian Software Accounting firm, the market leader I believe. He shared so much gold in this chat that I’m itching to share it with you.

The Loosely Coupled podcast has posted their latest episode today - Episode #11, I Learnded Goodly. Hosts Jeff Carouth and Matt Frost talk from some of their own experience when it comes to learning (and teaching) as developers.

In this episode Jeff and Matt talk about how we teach and how we learn as developers. Often subjects such as testing or object-oriented programming are taught in ways that could be considered the most difficult way possible. This episode covers some advice about how teach these types of subjects in an accessible way and, even better, how to go about learning difficult subjects.
